I don't know which I like best - watching football or making (and eating) football-watching food. Luckily, I don't have to choose. I get to do both! (We even rigged up a projection screen and watched the Saints beat the Raiders big time in a big fashion.)
Here are two new recipes I tried that were both keepers. The Crawfish Dip was the hands-down favorite though!
Crawfish Dip
2 lbs. crawfish tails, drained
3 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
1 bunch green onions
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Tony Chachere's to taste (about 1 1/2 tsp.)
Tabasco to taste
Saute green onions in butter over medium heat. Once the onions are soft (about 4 min.) add the cream cheese. After cream cheese is melted, add crawfish and spices. Serve with Frito's Scoops.
Warm Feta Spread
Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add one diced red bell pepper and two sliced garlic cloves. Cook until soft, 2 to 3 min. Break 1 lb feta into a serving bowl. Top with the warm pepper mixture. Serve with sliced cucumbers and pita chips.
(I am using what was left of this spread and toasting it on a baguette to eat with supper tonight.)
That is a great dip recipe (especially with the Tony's) and the game was AMAZING!!! Keep supporting the locals!

Wow, What a cool way to watch football if you have your recipe on the side. Thanks for sharing.

tony c's is my secret ingredient for most anything.
I saw your Tweet about trying the new TypePad, and I hope you do! :) It's been fun for me and loads of our customers. I'm delighted to hear what you think.
My fave football food is wings with soy sauce/ginger/scallions and a spicy chili-garlic sauce for dipping...mmmmMMM! And I don't even eat meat much. I bet it'd be good with tofu/tempeh too.

Many smokers claim that their habit helps them to relax, but there is no doubt that smoking is harmful to health and has a detrimental effect on athletic performance.

This really DOES look good. If only I can figure out where to get crawfish... in Canada... and in January... now that the playoffs are here.

I've tried that feta spread recipe before! It's the best. Great idea for using the leftovers. I love dinners that are sometimes all finer foods. You feel like you're at a party!
